Directions
-
If using wood chips, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes, then drain well.
-
Prepare your grill: for charcoal, scatter half the soaked chips over hot coals; for gas, place chips in a foil pan on the flame.
-
Remove husks and silks from corn ears. Stem, seed, and halve the red bell pepper lengthwise.
-
Cut Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and brush cut sides with olive oil.
-
Grill corn and pepper halves 4-6 inches above heat until lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
-
Remove corn and peppers, then scatter remaining chips over coals. Place tomatoes cut-side down on the grill.
-
Grill tomatoes until slightly charred, about 7 minutes, then carefully remove.
-
Cut kernels off the grilled corn cobs. Dice the charred bell pepper and corn for the relish.
-
In a blender, combine the grilled tomatoes, 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable stock for vegan), and fresh sage. Blend until smooth.
-
Transfer soup to a pot and simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors. Season with salt and lime juice to taste.
-
To serve, ladle hot soup into bowls and top with the corn and pepper relish and sliced green onions.
